Evan, Thanks for your reply. It makes a lot of common sense, however life is not always linear and common sense doesn't always answer everything, in fact:

There are people like me who _did_ have a career in IT ages ago and had to have a long break (due to either bad luck or their own fault) and are trying to get back into the industry. They will have to start basically from scratch because, as you know, recruiters are almost always IT- or Open Source- illiterate and they have no clue of what to make of your "open source evangelism" back 15-20 years ago. This quite large group of unfortunate people will have to complete with new fresh graduates with mickey mouse degrees from uni of nowhere and will probably need something a bit more professional than whatever entry level certification. Ok for the LPIC-{1,2,3}, but what the LPI needs to offer is something a bit less Linux specific and more generally Unix-oriented. I though the BSD Specialist was the answer but it turns out it wasn't (see my previous posts). 2) > It's quite correct that StartIT would probably do nothing for you or your > colleagues, you're already here with IT skills. Again, wrong assumption (although in good faith), see point 1. If I sound negative, it's because I am. It hurts when you think you have skills but you can't prove them or build upon them, or maybe I don't really have skills and am just overestimating myself. -- Ottavio Caruso _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] https://list.lpi.org/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
